From 1st January 2015, a revised World Anti-Doping Code (2015 Code) comes into effect. This means that internationally everyone will be working to a new set of anti-doping rules that will guide the anti-doping programmes in each country. As a member of Scottish Rowing, anti-doping rules apply to you too, at whatever level you participate.

Earlier in the week Scottish Rowing delivered 'Buddy Book' training to a group of enthusiastic sports leaders from Craigroyston Community High School in Edinburgh. The group of sports leaders are currently working on a project to build their own St Ayles skiff and hope that their indoor rowing training will help prepare them for when they are able to launch their boat.

I enjoyed a lovely weekend at Inverness for their Head Races; glorious weather, huge entries, good organisation with an effective new pre-start procedure and (biggest shock of all !) results were on-line about 30minutes after the end of each division. Well done to the lads & lasses in red & green.

A few adventurous Scots made the journey to Australia to compete in the World Rowing Masters Regatta at Lake Wendouree, Ballarat, the venue of the 1956 Olympic Games Rowing Regatta. Fortunately, the Australians had re-filled the Lake with water in time for the start of the regatta, having been dry for several years previous. The Regatta was held from the 9th to the 12th of October.
